The first episode of our FLAp Podcast is online! We discuss Robin Williams’ last dramatic performance in a movie and also talk about the film’s cinematography. A follow-up episode is already in the making. If you’d like to participate, please get in touch with us.

Andrea launched a film, literature and art podcast together with her film partner Jens J. Reinke. The first episode will be published in October of this year and will be about Robin Williams’ performance in his last dramatic role in Boulevard (2014) as well as about the film’s cinematography. Make sure you don’t miss it!

The next art project “Erratic Blocks” of the art association “Künstler Gut Loitz e.V.” will take place on October 30th and 31st, 2015 in Loitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Andrea will write about Wyman’s art pieces in the upcoming exhibition’s publication.

The background for this year’s art project is the 200th anniversary of Sweden ceding Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (which had fallen under Swedish rule in 1648) to Prussia.

Wyman’s topic is the influence of history on people’s everyday lives; his artwork falls into the categories of found art and ready-mades. Andrea and Wyman collaborated artistically on some of the art pieces

Andrea and Wyman are among the founding members of the art association “Künstler Gut Loitz e.V.”, founded in July of 2013. Chairman is art professor and artist Barbara Camilla Tucholski. Andrea and Wyman are part of its first art project (title: “Menschen, Tiere und Kanonen”) which will combine art, art history and the work of local non-profit associations. The exhibition will open in September of 2014 and will run through November in Rostock, East Germany. The catalogue publication will feature articles written by Andrea (as an art historian) and Wyman (as an artist, art theorist, and a cultural go-between).

Wyman and I expect our first baby boy Glenn Jolson at the end of September. His middle name is a reference to Al Jolson, the man who brought Wyman and me together. We have had some pregnancy issues over the past months, and we hope that Glenn Jolson will not make a too early appearance. His due date is September 29th, 2013.
